In nature, injured or destroyed tissue layers must be rapidly closed in order to maintain the integrity and function of the organism. Man has adopted this type of approach from nature.

A primary goal of modern wound care is to salvage the intact tissue and support the damaged areas. Our suture materials, which are based on biotolerable raw materials, can be systematically used for every type of wound care and they guarantee the best possible tissue tolerance.

Surgical suture material serves as a typical medical device for tissue repair. Today, most types of wound closure are still carried out with the aid of sutures. The mechanical characteristics of the materials used are of utmost importance for providing an adequate temporary substitute for the stability that has been lost.

Absorbable materials thereby support the natural reparative processes until form and function have been re-established. These materials are subsequently broken down by the organism.

Non-absorbable suture materials guarantee permanent support and optimum biotolerability which are of particular importance in the case of long-term implants.
